Me ! (the ego page)
This is where you will find me every fall. I spend many yours picking just the right grain to use from just the right field. Having good straw to work with is crucial..
My favorite natural fiber.
This is the booth at the Wintergreen Craft Event in Regina last year. I like to attend large juried craft shows. There are always interesting people to meet

I could never have done this without my parents!
Martin and Ella (Pantel) Silzer. I'm very proud of my parents. They are very busy and talented people.
Martin C. Silzer, WWII veteran, Representative of Assiniboia School Division #13 for many years, and very active in all forms of community service. Charter member of the Elks Club #__ and on and on. Now he works in his private fruit orchard and bakes the best pie in the world from the apples he grows.
Ella Linda (Pantel) Silzer, from whom I inherited any artistic talent I may have, creates treasures in fabric, from toys to quilts, tin craft, silhouette paintings, and cake decorating. She found time to care for flowers and the neighbors kids while she managed a hardware or ran the local post office.
